Clinton County SWCD Having Tree Seedling Giveaway

In celebration of Arbor Day and the National Assn. of Conservation Districts’ Soil and Water Stewardship Week the Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation District will be handing out free tree seedlings. This year we would like to encourage families to celebrate the many benefits of trees in our community by doing something fun and positive outdoors….plant a family tree!

Due to COVID-19 concerns distribution will be setup requiring no person-to-person contact. Trees will be individually packaged and placed on the porch of the USDA Service Center located at 860 S. Prairie Ave., Frankfort, IN.  Please park and one person from your vehicle should walk up to the porch to pick up your tree(s).  If someone is already in the pickup area please remain in your car and wait until they have returned to their car before proceeding to the pickup area.

Two tree species are being offered – Red Oak and Hickory seedlings – while supplies last.  Limit of four trees per family.  You may pick up a tree seedling May 18-20 during regular business hours of 8:30 a.m to 4:30 p.m.. Planting instructions will be provided.

For more information, contact Leah Harden at 765-659-1223, extension 3.
